Benzoflex™ 2-45 Plasticizer

Benzoflex™ 2-45 Plasticizer by Eastman is oxydiethylene dibenzoate. It is an excellent solvator for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and also shows compatibility with it. Flexible vinyl formulations which are based on this plasticizer can be processed quicker and at lower temperatures than vinyl based on a di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate. Benzoflex™ 2-45 Plasticizer is resistant to extraction from the vinyl by aliphatic and oily solvents and thickens the polyvinyl acetate emulsions due to which the adhesives are comparatively stable.
